Thematic Victory Conditions [SP/MP][ME]

The objective of this mod is to provide every faction with a unique set of victory conditions that fit both with the story provided in the game as well as their greater story within Warhammer Lore for the Mortal Empires Campaign.

It alters Short Campaign Objectives, Long Campaign Objectives, as well as Multiplayer Head-To-Head Objectives (meaning that this mod is Multiplayer Compatible). Due to the asymmetrical nature of the objectives, Multiplayer Co-op is not supported, though the original default objectives do remain. The "World Tour" objectives have been removed.

THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS.
The Mod is functional, but is not yet complete, and may require further balancing for the Multiplayer Objectives. The list of factions available and intended are provided below.

One of the great features of Total War: Warhammer is its asymmetrical nature. As a result, true balance will forever be impossible, and is not intended at all with the Short Campaign Objectives.

However, Head-to-Head Objectives are intended to be balanced in the sense that they should take similar amount of time and effort to complete in single player mode (aka Long Campaign Objectives). Again, due to the asymmetrical nature of the game, some factions will have natural advantages over others in the campaign, but can also be equally disrupted.

That said, it is impossible for my small group to test everything in terms of balance. If there appears to be something far out of balance after you have played it out, not just by appearance, please leave a comment and I will take a look at it as time allows. Note: Adding additional factions currently has a higher priority than modifying balance of current features, as this may lead to balance corrections as more factions are added.

Previously saved games will not receive any changes to their objectives after installing this mod (though will continue to work). To receive the new objectives, you must start a new game.

This is also true when this mod receives an update: previous saves’ objectives will not be altered, but newly started games will receive the new objectives.

In terms of compatibility with other mods, this mod is relatively small in that it really only alters a single file: the Mortal Empires Victory Conditions. Theoretically, that means this mod should be compatible with any other mod that does not alter the Victory Conditions, though I do not run many mods myself so this will require individual testing on your part. If compatibility issues arise, current recommendations is to have this mod load first before other mods. No further support for Mod Compatibility will be provided at this time.
